Overview

• Organizers registered 15,000 and later claimed 22,000 participants from the stage, while police estimated roughly 12,000 by mid‑afternoon.
• Held under the slogan "Stoppt den Völkermord in Gaza," the rally opposed Israel’s campaign in Gaza and urged an end to arms deliveries and renewed diplomacy including a two‑state solution.
• About 1,000–1,100 officers were deployed across Berlin, and police described the event as largely peaceful after acting over at least one banned placard.
• Speakers and supporters included Sahra Wagenknecht, Dieter Hallervorden, Massiv, Daniel Aminati, Bausa and Gabriele Krone‑Schmalz, with video messages from Roger Waters and Jeffrey Sachs.
• Reporters noted the presence of BDS supporters and staff from the right‑wing Compact magazine, and the event followed a resolved location dispute with Berlin Marathon organizers.
